Korg STAGE VINTAGE SV-1 User Manual page 19

Ease of use, pleasure to play
• Selecting sounds is as easy as using a knob to select the base sound, and one
for a variation of the base sound. And editing sounds (in realtime!) is just a
matter of turning a couple of knobs.
• The high-quality, realistic Korg RH3 keyboard features four zones with dif-
ferent weights. This gives you the same realism and feeling as a grand piano
keyboard. You can choose from eight different touch curves to adjust how
the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
• Eight alternative tuning curves allows for precise tuning of vintage instru-
ments and grand piano alike.
• The transpose function lets you change the pitch of the instrument, and the
master tune function allows you to make fine tune adjustments.
The same pedals of a grand piano, and more
• The SV-1 provides connections for the same three pedals as a grand piano.
Also, you can use the pedals to control volume, rotary slow/fast change, or
the wah effect. Pedals are automatically assigned to controlling the right
effect without any additional programming.
• The damper pedal simulates the natural string resonance and noises of an
acoustic piano; it also lets you vary the amount of the effect by how far you
press down on it ("half-pedal" function).
Valve Reactor and modeling technologies
• The SV-1 features Valve Reactor technology that uses an actual valve to cre-
ate the sound of an authentic tube power amp, delivering the response and
tone of classic amps.
• The SV-1 uses sophisticated modeling technology to create classic amp, cabi-
net, and effect sounds. By mixing them, you can create an amazing range of
sounds, many of which have never been heard before.
High-quality vintage effects
• Since high-quality effects are built in, the SV-1 is all you need to create a
completely finished sound. You can choose one type for each pedal, amp
model, modulation and reverb/echo/delay effect, and use these sections
simultaneously.
• The SV-1 provides control switches that let you do things like set the delay
time via TAP TEMPO, switch effects on/off, or switch the speed of a rotary
speaker... again, must-have features for live performance.
